In Stock

Ume paste is made from ground umeboshi, fermented shiso leaves and ume su (a vinegar-like seasoning made from the juice released during pickling of the ume). Ume paste has the same salty and sour flavour and is delicious with rice dishes or as a dip with sushi.

Ingredients: Ume Apricot, sea salt, Shiso leaves

The shiso herb
Shiso is the inseparable companion of umeboshi. The shiso leaf is a herb from the same family as mint. The redness of the umeboshi comes from a purple variety of shiso. The taste is spicy, herby and slightly bitter. It is used very often in Japan.
